Gateway Faculty-led International Programs (FLIPs) are course-based, short-term, international opportunities that combine classroom learning with experiential learning abroad. The Gateway Program welcomes proposals from interested faculty to work with us to ensure a program’s viability in cost, itinerary, and adherence to our mission.
